I actually use the free version as an additional level of safety. I have a Sonicwall that does filtering, but I also run it through OpenDNS for that extra level, plus their servers are MUCH faster than the DNS that AT&T wants us to use!
I have had ZERO problems with it. I am looking into the Enterprise option for per user filtering. Right now, I get around it by sending certain users through different ip's and have different policies per ip in OpenDNS.

Pretty much turn it on, disable the adult, shopping, streaming, and social sites and its all set. There is one that says 'unknown' or something its in the top left and if you turn that on, any site that is *not* categorized gets blocked. I did that a couple times heh From: Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 8:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OpenDNS There are debates about privacy out there, but I also have found the free version to be very useful. I don't have any definite proof, but at least I get the feeling that having them filter out many known malicious sites is a nice addition to the overall defense in depth strategy we've taken with regard to malware. The ability to administratively block particular domains without modifying your internal DNS is also a nice plus.
